Pripyat / Chernobyl

A lot of people ask me about which company I use to get into Chernobyl. I spent the first seven days directly through a government guide, but I booked my last 4 day trip with CHERNOBYLwel.come and I saw as much in 4 days as I did the previous seven days!

I have spent 5 years exploring the most radioactive area on Earth - Pripyat, Chernobyl and the militarized exclusion zone. So far I have explored and documented over half of the citys buildings, and driven every single street.
I have immersed myself in zone life; eating, drinking, and sleeping with the guards, as well as meeting the resettlers in the red forest.
Here's my story:

There are 3 stages of military checkpoints around Pripyat. One at 30Km, one at 10Km, and one to the city itself. This section documents the radiation scans, document checks, and procedures that go with them.

One reasons I prefer to live in the zone instead of day-tripping there is the food! Whether it's a workers cafe in Chernobyl, or in the eating with the workers in the canteen of Reactor 4 (yes it's still open) you'll never go hungry in the zone.
